Analysis:

Race 7: (8) Piece Of The Rock seems sharpest here. I’m also using (2) Four Starzzz Z.

Race 8: (6) Art History drops and I’m using him as a single.

Race 9: This is a wide open race. I picked a longshot, (6) Prince Palani, but I’m using five horses here, 1, 3, 4, 6, 8.

Race 10: (6) Michael’s Power is an obvious choice off the drop but he hasn’t looked that sharp. (5) I’m Supersonic A ships in and comes off a solid effort.
